Master of Education [M.Ed] [Educational Technology] From University of South Carolina

Our Master of Education in Educational Technology is a shared program between USC-Columbia and USC-Aiken.  The program is designed to help you develop capabilities essential to the analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation of effective, efficient, and appealing technology-based learning, instruction, and training (e.g., computer-based training, software/multimedia development, assistive technology modifications, online education, and distance learning).

Our program is appropriate for K-12 teachers, corporate trainers, and government and healthcare workers who will be developing instructional interventions with technology-enhanced learning.  Neither teaching licensure nor a previous degree in education is required for admissions. .

Our program’s missions are:

• To prepare practitioners with sound principles and techniques of instructional systems design plus technological competence
• To prepare leaders for the meaningful integration of educational technology in teaching, learning, and performance environments

Courses are offered in an eight-week schedule with two courses required each semester and include summer for course work.  All courses are taught 100% online by faculty at USC-Columbia and USC-Aiken campuses through our online course management system Blackboard. They are faculty-led with schedules for completion of specific activities and requirements; they are not self-paced. By staying on track with the schedules for completion, you will be able to complete the program within 6 consecutive semesters (2 years).
